The ordinary automobile filling stand involves a metering case with a discharge connection near the top of the stand and a hose leading from this discharge connection which may be used in directing the flow of gasoline to the supply tank of the automobile. In

" order to provide a convenient and easy manipulation of the hose it is ordinarily formed witha'n exterior covering of textile fabric.

This has a slight sheeting of rubber at the interior of the fabric and within the rubber is a flexible metal tube. This makesthe hose as flexible as the service conditions will permit. In order to give the hose 'spfiicient range of movement, it is desirable to make it of a' length which in ordinary use involves the engagement of the lowest portion of the hose with the ground, or concrete with which the ordinary station is provided. The textile covering is readily injured bythe abrasive action of the concrete or ground in the ordinary use of the hose. In the present invention this difliculty is obviated by providing the hose along that part which in use engages the ground with a rubber coat, or armor out side thefabric. This rubber coating very materially stifiens up this part of the hose, but with the full flexibility of the ends the hose can be readily manipulated in use and the rubber armor protects the part that is subjected to-the severe wear. Features and de tails of the invention will appear from the specification and claims.

Through the central part-of the hose, or that part of the hose which reaches the ground in use a rubber covering 11 is arranged around the fabric 10. This leaves the ends of the hose with full flexibility and the rubber armor around the central portion readily resists the tion of the hose adapted to resist abrasive 'efi'ect on the portion of the hose reaching the ground in use.
